Finish

Happy Monday!

It’s the start of the final week of Florida Hope Tour 2013 and time for today’s word-of-the-week…

FINISH

My track coaches always talked about “running through the tape.” The idea was not to let up before you finish.

When the end’s in sight, it’s easy to slow down and coast. It takes a lot of perseverance to push to the end.

That’s true on a long tour, a big project, and life. It’s tempting to begin the celebration too soon, to shut it down and rest those last yards or years.

That’s not the right way to finish. The last miles or years matter. Maybe they’re the most important. The way we finish demonstrates character.

Whatever we’re doing today, let’s commit to running through the tape. Let’s finish the right way.
